It's Friday in Germany right now, right?

My internet connection is KILLING me. I had to just get this posted lest something happen to wipe out what I had done - a thing that actually happened to me a few weeks into this Friday Favorites gig, and I lost a few hours of work that day. There was just no retrieving it. I have since found new ways to save a backup, but you guessed it, it too is time consuming and tedious.

Congratulations!

to all those who were nominated, and thank you to our team of regular nominators, and special thanks to every new freewritehouse member who takes time to nominate a favorite for the week.
